The Morning Cup of Moxie - Recommiting to what's important
Today the conversation is about re-commitment to the things that matter in our lives.
You Are Never Alone
Today I talk about how circumstances in our world or even in our personal lives can leave us feeling very alone. Whether it's because of our physiological seasonal changes or global or personal events creating an unwanted change in our lives, the enemy will leverage that to leave us feeling discouraged, alone, separated from our faith. But we are never alone when we have our faith, and when the enemy is leaning in hard, we have a constant companion waiting for us to lean into Him. Being aware of Jesus all around us, God's handiwork in the world around us, mindfulness of His word and work are there for us to notice. That's where photographs can can be that catalyst. For self discovery, awareness and deeper faith, and celebration.
Learn more about how photography, coaching and your Life Vision Journey can impact and reveal your Moxie at www.LifeVisionJourney.com and see how photography can be a celebration, devotion and meditative part of your journey.
Let's talk personally about how this can help inspire your Moxie life for yourself and even a group of Moxie ladies at your next Bible study, retreat or conference - live or virtual.
Discussed in this segment, "Meditation on Both Sides of the Camera" by Christian author Val Isenhower
When Doors are Standing Open
This morning's Moxie gathering is about those times you realize doors are standing open and if you will walk through it in faith. We are joined by Moxie Sister Ginger talking about taking the opportunity - the door - to say "no" and some time off to regroup and refresh.
The Holiday Morning Cup of Moxie
In the final episode of The Morning Cup of Moxie for 2020, Donna and Cheryl discuss being on the cusp of a new year, we talk about renewing our thoughts and our minds, changing our perspective to transform our thinking, and the active work God is doing, altogether for change that happens from the inside out rather than outside in.
What changes in your thinking, perspective or mindset do you need to make to meet 2021 head-on and with Moxie? Join us on Facebook at @TheMoxiecoach.
The Morning Cup of Moxie - Moxie sister conversation with Theresa Bandru of Golden Owl Consulting
Today's MCM is joined by Theresa Bandru of Golden Owl Consulting. Join us as we talk (and joke) about how we find our Moxie each morning; how photographs can be moments to pause and reflect and a wonderful way to celebrate a moment, a year, and our past; and how the Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (which is important as I joke about how I tend to want to run ahead all the time... ).
Looking Ahead, Inspiration and The Moxie Month of "yes"
It's Donna's birthday! and today we are chatting about looking ahead at a new month and new year, reflecting on the year we've had and how we can walk together with faith and strength into what's next. We turn it into a challenge to say "yes" to what comes our way and see what opportunities come about that would otherwise be overlooked or missed. (please note the verse mentioned is 1John 3:1 - sheesh...old eyes)
Mentioned: Moxie Gathering 12PM ET tomorrow 12/1/20 - the zoom information is in The Moxie Sisterhood Facebook group, join us!

Photography as meditation, worship and prayer in times of anxiety
In this week's Morning Cup of Moxie, Donna and Cheryl talk about recognizing moments and recoding them with your phone, camera, or just a personal mental snapshot, as meditation, prayer, worship - as a way to be calm in times of stress and anxiety.

The Morning Cup of Moxie - "Connecting the dots of life"
The inaugural Morning Cup of Moxie with Cheryl & Donna! This morning we begin by laughing at doing a zoom live stream for the first time (and if we were actually live or not) but then we get into talking about making sense of things, about looking back, connecting the dots in our lives to see how opportunities and our life journey. What does it help inspire or even change your perspective of how you see your life, your year, your week. Let us know by posting below!
We shared a few of the images from Donna's Moxie Life Vision Journey Experience and what it meant to her. You can find out more at lifevisionjourney.com.
Focus and Thankfulness
As a photographer, I can choose what to focus my camera on. I can choose to zoom in or be wide-angle and take in the entire scene, or I can flip the camera around and take a "selfie." As Moxie women, we choose what we focus on - the things we have, what we've done and what we are capable of OR what we haven't, what we didn't and what we aren't. It's this focus that can hold us back from truly understanding what our calling is and making progress in our lives.
Clarifying Your Calling - Evolve, Reinvent or Pivot
We all have a calling and in our second half of life deciphering that calling can be needed in various forms. In this episode I talk about the different ways your calling might shift or change.
Your journey to understanding your calling
At some point, we wonder if we have a calling if there is a real purpose for our life.
The answer is simple. Yes.
You were born with a calling.
Our calling is gifted to us and was written into our lives long before we were even a twinkle in our parents' eyes.
Realizing our calling isn't something that suddenly reveals itself, like a child prodigy who naturally masters something in a big way, but instead it's revealed to and through us in different ways and in everything we do during our life journey.
Where Do You Imagine Your Life To Be?
That's what my story was right after my 48th birthday. My daughter and only child was about to graduate high school that June and head off to college, and we were excited for her. Our busy lives were already slowing down as we began that "letting go" process around Christmas time, but still, life was about to change - I didn't anticipate the unexpected way it would.
I discovered a new perspective and renewed purpose in my life that resonated through to my business.It was this reinvention that brought a deeper understanding of my "why" and allowed me to pivot to a new direction that holds a deeper meaning for me and reflects my gifts of teaching and encouragement.By looking back as well as inward, permitting myself to stop to understand myself deeper and challenge my status quo brought me to discover my "what's next."
In this episode I talk about:- Being a woman with Moxie who is stuck
- The cost of "toughing it out."
- Looking back to look toward what's next
- Dusting off your dreams and reinventing even if you don't think you can

It’s a Mid-life Transformation Thing
Welcome to the middle. The bottom of the "U bend" of happiness. Midlife.
Being a Type-A "striver," who suddenly feels as if someone has let the air out of your balloon, it's frustrating and even horrifying to not feel like your previous, driven self. On the other side of that "U" is a new level of Moxie, new freedom of possibilities to pursue any dream or goal you previously put aside, and confidence to decide what you choose to hang on to and what you let go.

Permission for Moxie Women
Life has changed and we get stuck sometimes. Stuck waiting for something, we don't know what. Ladies, time is of the essence and there's not time to sit back waiting for permission.
Are You Waiting For Permission?
As children, we expect our parents to guide us - when it was time to go to bed, time to go to school, time to brush your teeth.
Subconsciously, as adults, we still wait for direction and permission, especially in areas we might be less self-assured. We are conditioned to wait for the ok that we are ready, for the "right time," "right age," "right way" for what's next.
Is it any wonder we feel stuck in areas of our lives?!

Episode 5 - You Are More Than Multi-Passionate
There's more to you than just the fickle emotion of passion - you are multi-gifted, or rather Moxie-gifted!
Episode 4 - It's Not About You
That's right. Your business is NOT about YOU.
Once I understood this concept, it made a huge difference not only in my perspective for serving my clients but in attracting more of the right clients. I challenge you to look - does your business look like it's all about you?
Episode 3 - You, the Moxie Entrepreneur
